Pull Request Overview
This PR adds a timeout parameter to a requests.get() call to prevent the application from hanging indefinitely when fetching the public IP address from an external API.
- Added a 60-second timeout to the requests.get() call for the ipify.org API
| hostname = socket.gethostname() | ||
| IPAddr = socket.gethostbyname(hostname) | ||
| try: | ||
| public_ip = get("https://api.ipify.org", timeout=60).text |

A 60-second timeout is excessive for a simple IP lookup API call. Consider reducing to 5-10 seconds for better user experience and faster error handling.
Suggested change
| public_ip = get("https://api.ipify.org", timeout=60).text | |
| public_ip = get("https://api.ipify.org", timeout=5).text |
